Most people think French Macarons are hard to make. Actually once you try it, you’ll find it is not that bad after all. It took me awhile to gain the courage to try. Now I bake them all the time, in different flavors and colors. But for this particular batch I left them simple. The [...]

These little S’more packages can be made by just assembling the ingredients. No baking involved. If you are up for it, make the chocolates yourself. Without fail, I forget a gift for someone every holiday. So lately I’ve tried to keep an easy gift idea close at hand like this one. Above you will see [...]

This always looks harder than it is, really. I made these during the holidays and everyone flipped. I used melted chocolate drizzled over parchment paper for the toppers along with a blackberry. Use any berry you want for garish. I use real whipped cream but the can type is fine too. My daughter was [...]

It has that “WOW” factor without a ton of time invested in the kitchen. Good for entertaining because you can make it ahead and just leave [...]

HELLO SUMMER!!! When I had the cupcake shop these little beauties were used as party favors and for the dessert tables we made. Now that the shop is no longer, it is time to share the how-to again. Make them ahead of time and store in a cool place for a couple of days if need be. [...]

The combination of my three most favorite flavors all in one bar. I’ve also heard them called Millionaire bars. Either way it doesn’t get better than this. The dulce de leche is soft and gewy, and the shortbread cookie is tender and sweet. Top that with a quality chocolate and you have the best dessert bar imaginable. [...]

Hands down the top-selling cupcake we made at the shop. I would say that this is by far my most favorite cupcake. When it is all say and done I’m a loyal chocolate lover to the core. Given a choice I’ll choose chocolate every time. I suspect you’ll need a little practice to perfect this recipe, just [...]
